Linus27 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Thanks for posting, will be keeping an eye on both of their amps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassybert Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Am I correct in thinking the zero is pretty much a power amp and high/low pass filter for £1k?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Seems to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skychaserhigh Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Bit of a tough sell when they're not sure exactly how much it will be, what it will look like or when it will be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I’m a huge Barefaced fan and gig regularly with their cabs. Got the email and clicked on the link with excitement……… Hopefully a bit more info to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbowskill Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Tough market with such a naked amp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Of course if it’s £240 deposit and then £15 delivery on completion of build they have smashed this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, however, he wants to take on GK, Ashdown, Mesa etc, these amps need to be really good. I am a bit of a Barefaced fanboi but I am also a GK fanboi and I really can't see his first amp unseating my Legacy 800. I don't want an FRFR amp, I already have barefaced 12" cabinets. I want some colour from the head, so, EQ and filters please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 What I liked was the humble text: "I don't know when this will be ready" instead of empty promises. The unit itself is somewhat pricey, but small production runs tend to cost pretty much. HPF is a nice extra in this straightforward unit. The story of the EQ is of interest: I tried an Ampeg side by side with a Glockenklang, and they did sound really different! But here the sound from a system (an amp and a cab) that can be tweaked with the two band EQ - it requires a bold user that turns the knobs until a wanted sound is achieved. Uncoloured amp may offer surprises for many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, however, he wants to take on GK, Ashdown, Mesa etc, these amps need to be really good. I expect he’s more going for the Vanderkley/Bergantino end of things than the more mass-market offerings. It’s an intriguing prospect because I hate complicated set ups that require lots of knob twiddling. Not planning on taking the plunge though, very happy with my Trace TE1200 🤓 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Seems like t his is Alex's pet project. An amp with a fully configured preamp is on the way after this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 This is how the BB800 started out, minus the Kickstarter element. I predict it will go the same way eventually, if not immediately with the simultaneous announcement of the full EQ version. Knobs at noon for actual flat response ideally.

Sibob Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 For me, this largely hinges on what power module is being used. We’ll see. Tbf, I like the look of the prototype haha. Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
